English 251

We have had a successful week. The essay responses to the Hurricane Katrina prompt are great!The discussion in class today about the three doctors is the kind of dialogue I'd like to see happening in the literature circles as well as between each of you and the text.

To keep from being confused you might want to have a separate sheet in your notebook for each character: Sam, George and Rameck. Note important or significant events, scenes and people who impact their lives collectively and individually. What values do the men share? How do they define friendship?

Be descriptive here and don't forget to indicate the page number where you read the citation. All three men spoke of why they wanted to write this book. What were the reasons? How has reading this book impacted you and your views on higher education?

Are you the intended audience?

Today we visited the Writing Center and used the Lab Manual to accompany The Master Reader. There are 68 activities. For each activity completed, note the number correct and the number missed for me on the handout I gave each of you.

Visit http://www.ablongman.com/henry. Click on The Master Reader. Feel free to look at the other two books. I think TMR is the most comprehensive. When I get an extra copy; I will leave a copy of TMR in the Writing Center. You might want to do other activities in the textbook.

Another web based program you might enjoy is The Reading Road Trip and Townsend Reader.

Ask the teacher in the Writing Center to show it to you. Keep track of your time in the lab, and what you are doing while there in your journal. You can augment your work in The Master Reader with Reading Road Trip and Townsend. Ask a teacher in the lab to show you how. We will be visiting the lab a few times a month to work.

It's worth reading. Your article will provide bundle of information to English students. I must say that you don't need to go English center after reading this article. Here is the link http://www.checkmypersonalstatement.net/example-of-a-good-personal-statement/ we are working on.
